Add $argN special fetch variable for accessing function
arguments. This allows user to trace the Nth argument easily
at the function entry.
Note that this returns most probably assignment of registers
and stacks. In some case, it may not work well. If you need
to access correct registers or stacks you should use perf-probe.

Add array type support for probe events.
This allows user to get arraied types from memory address.
The array type syntax is
TYPE[N]
Where TYPE is one of types (u8/16/32/64,s8/16/32/64,
x8/16/32/64, symbol, string) and N is a fixed value less
than 64.
The string array type is a bit different from other types. For
other base types, <base-type>[1] is equal to <base-type>
(e.g. +0(%di):x32[1] is same as +0(%di):x32.) But string[1] is not
equal to string. The string type itself represents "char array",
but string array type represents "char * array". So, for example,
+0(%di):string[1] is equal to +0(+0(%di)):string.

Add "symbol" type to probeevent, which is an alias of u32 or u64
(depends on BITS_PER_LONG). This shows the result value in
symbol+offset style. This type is only available with kprobe
events.

As the other files are documented explicitly, let's add a
short description for 'trigger' as well.

The per-event files to enable or disable kprobes and uprobes
are named 'enable', not 'enabled'. Fix the corresponding
documentation.

This converts the plain text documentation to reStructuredText format and
add it into Sphinx TOC tree. No essential content change.
